Deep/Dark Web Exploration

January 14, 2018 by Chris

The Dark Web sounds nefarious and scary but with the right tools, and a balls of brass, I can access and browse safely.

The
deep/dark web refers to web sites that hide their web address and is
only accessible by using encrypted tools like the TOR browser, the Tails
operating system designed to boot from a USB flash drive, all from an
ideally new, clean, low-cost computer. And forget about using social
media sites such as Facebook or even Google. Use a search engine that
won’t track you such as DuckDuckGo.

I’ve been exploring the
deepest, darkest parts of the web for awhile now and it is fascinating
in how it reminds me of the early, pioneer days of web 1.0.

This
feels very much like exploring the frontier here because the
possibilities and the risks are both real and exciting. More later.
